Vintage Voigtl\u00e4nder Cameras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Founded in Vienna as long ago as 1756, Voigtl\u00e4nder began making cameras in the 1840s. The company was bought by Carl Zeiss in 1958, and sold on to Rollei in 1972, as the once-mighty German camera industry began its painful decline. The name was sold to Ringfoto in 1997, and subsequent Voigtl\u00e4nder products have been made and marketed by the Japanese firm Cosina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
